Title 42's end raises alarms

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : The Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have been implementing both Title 42 -- an authority granted to them under the guise of pandemic protections -- and Title 8, the regular processing statute for undocumented immigrants at the border.
48% : In April, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that in response to the end of Title 42, it plans to carry out expedited removals using Title 8 authorities and establish two regional centers in Guatemala and Colombia where migrants can apply for asylum or other avenues to immigrate to the U.S.Biden administration officials say the stiffer penalties of Title 8 removals, which carry a five-year bar on entering the United States, paired with better avenues to seek legal pathways to enter the U.S. will relieve pressure at the border.
44% : Under Title 42, border officials are allowed to expel migrants they encounter at the border immediately, rather than processing them and giving them a chance to claim asylum.
17% : That and the use of active-duty troops to support Border Patrol and CBP have caused some Democrats to cry foul, saying the administration's actions perpetuate the false image of migrants as a threat to national security.
